4 months as a Wade

Happy 2009! Time continues to fly as Mike and I have now been married for 4 months! We continue to be thrilled with the blessings and challenges that marriage brings. Item number one for the new year is to find a new washing machine. This is proving to be a challenge as our little laundry closet limits us to an appliance 24" (or less) deep! I think this lends toward a machine so small we'll only be able to do one pair of jeans at a time. I will keep you updated. Nonetheless, we are so blessed to be home owners, and we welcome the responsibilities that come along with it!Our wedding photographer, Beckie, was able to stop by the Wade residence to capture a family photo. Front row: me, Papa Dave, Olivia (2), Gaga Becky, Carson (4). Back row: Mike, Dax, Lindsey.

We had a wonderful holiday visiting with friends and family in St. Louis. It is amazing how much you can pack in to 8 days. We had parties galore, and we truly enjoyed every ounce of time we were able to spend there. Stay tuned for pictures of Carson and Olivia on Christmas morning.

In other news, if you happen to catch Oprah today, you will see Britt taking the blood pressures of the audience members. Start the new year out with good cardiac health. I would also like to wish Miss Siena Salinas a very happy 6 month birthday! She is adorable. Check her out at www.salinasbaby.blogspot.com.
